Have you ever wondered what causes people to end up with weird sexual fetishes? This is purely anecdotal, of course, but Quentin Tarantino famously has a foot fetish, and as he revealed in an interview with Fresh Air’s Terri Gross recently, his mom once banged the late Wilt Chamberlain. Coincidence?

GROSS: So here’s something I was wondering, I know there’s so much like, you know, African-American popular culture that you really love. And I was wondering when you were growing up if you grew up in an integrated neighborhood, if you went to an integrated school, if you had African-American friends or if your contact with black people was largely through popular culture.

TARANTINO: No, no. I went to a mostly black school. You know, it wasn’t all-black because I was there, but it was mostly black.

(LAUGHTER)

TARANTINO: And the different points of my life I was raised by black people, raised in black homes – between my mom’s best friend that I lived a lot of times with her and her family and just the kind of United Nations aspect that my mom’s house was in the early ’70s, right at the explosion of black culture. So black culture is my culture growing up.

GROSS: Your mother had a United Nations kind of home?

TARANTINO: Yeah. Well, it was almost like a sitcom, actually the way we lived in the ’70s because she was in her 20s, she was hot, all right, she was a hot white girl. Her best friend was named Jackie. She was a hot black girl. And her other best friend was Lillian and she was a hot Mexican girl. And they lived in this like swinging singles apartment with me.

(LAUGHTER)

GROSS: What impact did that have on you?

TARANTINO: Yeah, well, it was just yeah, it was just, you know, it was the ’70s so it was, you know, I lived with these three hip ladies all going out on dates all the time and dating football players and basketball players and, you know, my mother…

Actually, I think it was 20 thousand, but unless he had lots of 100-person orgies, that figure seems somewhat inflated. You can download the audio of the full interview here, and the best part about it is how proud Quentin sounds to talk about the womb that birthed him having once housed a dollop of Chamberspooge. (“Does my pussy have a sign on it that says ‘famous semen storage?'”). It seems strange thing to brag about, but I remember a guy I went to college with sounding similarly proud when he’d tell the story of how his mom once banged former 49ers safety Marquez Pope, who, as he told it, he awoke to find cooking breakfast in his house one morning. And you know that’s true too, because no one who didn’t know him personally would ever make up a fake story about Marquez Pope.

Morning. Early 1970s. Tarantino Household. Young Quentin Tarantino walks out to the kitchen to find an exceptionally black man (is he African-American, straight-up African or something else) smoking a cigarette and sitting awkwardly at a small table, one too small for his enormous frame.

Exactly. I’m also almost starting to suspect it’s maybe not entirely factual? He talks about his mom and her two friends (one black, one a fiery Mexican) like they’re the Charlies Angels or something. I’m sure he’s warped his memories to fit his kitschy pulp ideals.

“My mom and her two ethnically-diverse and smoking hot friends used be killers for hire and my dad was a samurai who was living in exile and racing old muscle cars and owned a video store where I grew up experiencing the MAGIC OF MOVIES.”

The story’s pretty good, but it’s the photoshop that made me laugh out loud. I never noticed, but is that weapon Wilt’s holding the same one from that one episode of Star trek NG where Tasha Yar has to fight that chick to the death?
